Story

Meet Athena — a wise and wonderful senior lady with a heart of gold. Athena is a gorgeous red German Shepherd–Pitbull mix who has perfected the art of taking life at a gentle pace. She’s friendly with other dogs and enjoys the company of calm, respectful canine friends. While she’s not looking for a high-energy household or constant activity, she does appreciate the occasional playdate to keep things fun. Athena would thrive in a mellow, predictable home where she can relax, feel safe, and enjoy the quieter side of life. She’s a sweetheart with people and has that lovely senior soul that just wants to be near her family. Because of her strong preferences, Athena needs a home without cats or small animals. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who is past the chaos and ready for comfort, Athena might be your perfect match. Let her spend her golden years being cherished — she absolutely deserves it. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $275+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.

Belgian Malinois

Female, 7 mos

Brookings, SD

Size

Story

Moxie is a 7-month-old, 35-pound Malinois mix with a sweet personality and an even bigger heart. She’s spayed and medically up to date, and ready to find a home that can keep up with her happy, puppy energy. This sweet girl is affectionate and playful, always eager for attention, fun, and snuggles. She’s still very much a puppy and is continuing to work on her potty training, but is making good progress. At this time, we’re not sure how Moxie does with other animals or dogs, but as a young pup, she has plenty of room to grow, learn, and gain positive experiences with proper introductions and guidance. Moxie is excited and ready to find her forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion to grow alongside you, Moxie may be your perfect match!

Taz

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 8 yrs

Brookings, SD

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Taz! At 8 years old and about 78 pounds, Taz is a senior who’s ready to settle into a loving home. He is neutered and medically up to date, so he’s all set for his next chapter. Taz is sweet and friendly with people and enjoys human companionship, making him a wonderful candidate for someone looking for a loyal, affectionate companion. Taz is still working on his potty training, but with a consistent routine, patience, and positive reinforcement, he has all the potential to truly blossom. He wants to do well and will benefit from a home that can provide structure and understanding. When it comes to canine companions, Taz is selective with other dogs, so he may or may not be able to live with another dog. A meet-and-greet would be important to see if it’s a good match. We’re also unsure how he is with other animals or young children, so a calmer home environment may be the best starting point for him. If you’re looking to open your heart to a devoted senior who still has plenty of love to give, Taz might just be your perfect match. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt!

He is a neutered male. He likes to learn/play ball. He needs Kong/king toys as he will destroy stuff toys or anything else he can focus his chewing habit on including tennis balls are a no go. Fireworks/loud sound dont bother him. He sits and walks well on a leash. He doesnt like car rides. He drools a lot. He does well with cats, chickens and poultry farm animals. I leave him out with animals but the 10-20 minute potty breaks, he does well. He is an inside boy who kennels. He likes attention but doesnt crave it. He would do well in a older established home with older kids 12+/college kids. He is a great boy in search of a forever home!
